Hayes was born in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] He was raised by his grandmother[2] and grew up in Baltimore.[3] He attended Frostburg State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in political science in 2000.[1]
Since 2010, Hayes has served as the Chief of Staff of the Baltimore City Department of Social Services.[4]
In the legislature
In 2014, Hayes defeated two-term incumbent Shawn Z. Tarrant to win a seat in the House of Delegates.[5] He was sworn in on January 14, 2015.[1]
On July 29, 2017, Hayes announced his bid for State Senate, challenging appointed state Senator Barbara A. Robinson for the seat formerly held by Mayor Catherine Pugh.[6][7] He defeated Robinson in the Democratic primary, earning 65.4 percent of the vote.[8] He ultimately won the general election unchallenged[9] and took office on January 9, 2019.[1]
Following the death of U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings in October 2019, Hayes was seen as a possible candidate in the subsequent special election.[10][11][12] Later that month, he said that he would not run for the seat.[13]
In 2020, Hayes ran for national delegate pledged to Joe Biden in Maryland's 7th congressional district at the Democratic National Convention. He won the primary election, receiving 18.4 percent of the vote.[14] He also served as a delegate to the 2024 Democratic National Convention, pledged to Kamala Harris.[15]

Statewide politics
In September 2021, Hayes endorsed author Wes Moore for Governor of Maryland in the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election.[21]
